The Fury of Firestorm #47

The cover by Joe Brozowski and Rick Magyar sets the stage dramatically: Firestorm, flames blazing from his head, delivers a flying kick while a blue-skinned, armored figure — reeling and off-balance — takes the hit against a vivid green backdrop dominated by an enormous masked face looming behind them both. The cover copy promises the "shattering conclusion of the Bolt Saga," with Multiplex and a multitude of villains thrown into the mix, plus a tantalizing guest-star teased only as "You-Know-Who." Gerry Conway wraps up this multi-issue storyline in The Fury of Firestorm: The Nuclear Man #47, and the energy crackling off this cover makes it easy to see why the series kept readers hooked through 1986.
